A member asked:

What is the best treatment for swollen lump in breast?

Dr. Bruce J. Stringer answered

Specializes in Radiology

Immediate Med Eval!: Any mass in the breast should be considered a malignancy until proven otherwise. Putting evaluation off is taking a potentially lethal risk. I don't know if you have a cancer, abscess, or cyst. Get yourself seen by a doctor asap!
